using this recipe to try and choose an image from the gallery and then upload it to s3 but
my path always returns null.
private string _imgPath;
public void InitializeMediaPicker()
{
Intent = new Intent();
Intent.SetType("image/*");
Intent.SetAction(Intent.ActionGetContent);
StartActivityForResult(Intent.CreateChooser(Intent, "Select Picture"), 1000);
}
public string GetImage()
{
InitializeMediaPicker();
return _imgPath;
}
protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, Result resultCode, Intent data)
{
if ((requestCode != 1000) || (resultCode != Result.Ok) || (data == null)) return;
var uri = data.Data;
_imgPath = GetPathToImage(uri);
}
private string GetPathToImage(Android.Net.Uri uri)
{
string path = null;
// The projection contains the columns we want to return in our query.
var projection = new[] { Android.Provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.InterfaceConsts.Data };
using (var cursor = ManagedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null))
{
if (cursor == null) return path;
var columnIndex = cursor.GetColumnIndexOrThrow(Android.Provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.InterfaceConsts.Data);
cursor.MoveToFirst();
path = cursor.GetString(columnIndex);
}
return path;
}
Here is a working implementation ported from this question and specifically, this answer.
Include the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
permission in your manifest for this code to work.
public delegate void OnImageResultHandler(bool success, string imagePath);
protected OnImageResultHandler _imagePickerCallback;
public void GetImage(OnImageResultHandler callback)
{
if (callback == null) {
throw new ArgumentException ("OnImageResultHandler callback cannot be null.");
}
_imagePickerCallback = callback;
InitializeMediaPicker();
}
public void InitializeMediaPicker()
{
Intent = new Intent();
Intent.SetType("image/*");
Intent.SetAction(Intent.ActionGetContent);
StartActivityForResult(Intent.CreateChooser(Intent, "Select Picture"), 1000);
}
protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, Result resultCode, Intent data)
{
if ((requestCode != 1000) || (resultCode != Result.Ok) || (data == null)) {
return;
}
string imagePath = null;
var uri = data.Data;
try {
imagePath = GetPathToImage(uri);
} catch (Exception ex) {
// Failed for some reason.
}
_imagePickerCallback (imagePath != null, imagePath);
}
private string GetPathToImage(Android.Net.Uri uri)
{
string doc_id = "";
using (var c1 = ContentResolver.Query (uri, null, null, null, null)) {
c1.MoveToFirst ();
String document_id = c1.GetString (0);
doc_id = document_id.Substring (document_id.LastIndexOf (":") + 1);
}
string path = null;
// The projection contains the columns we want to return in our query.
string selection = Android.Provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.InterfaceConsts.Id + " =? ";
using (var cursor = ManagedQuery(Android.Provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.ExternalContentUri, null, selection, new string[] {doc_id}, null))
{
if (cursor == null) return path;
var columnIndex = cursor.GetColumnIndexOrThrow(Android.Provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.InterfaceConsts.Data);
cursor.MoveToFirst();
path = cursor.GetString(columnIndex);
}
return path;
}
Example Usage:
Button button = FindViewById<Button> (Resource.Id.myButton);
button.Click += delegate {
GetImage(((b, p) => {
Toast.MakeText(this, "Found path: " + p, ToastLength.Long).Show();
}));
};
I've used a callback instead of returning the path for GetImage
as the calling method would finish executing before OnActivityResult
is called so the path returned would never be valid.
I changed the GetPathToImage method from the Xamarin recipe to the code below and now it works!
private string GetPathToImage(Android.Net.Uri uri)
{
ICursor cursor = this.ContentResolver.Query(uri, null, null, null, null);
cursor.MoveToFirst();
string document_id = cursor.GetString(0);
document_id = document_id.Split(':')[1];
cursor.Close();
cursor = ContentResolver.Query(
Android.Provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.ExternalContentUri,
null, MediaStore.Images.Media.InterfaceConsts.Id + " = ? ", new String[] { document_id }, null);
cursor.MoveToFirst();
string path = cursor.GetString(cursor.GetColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.InterfaceConsts.Data));
cursor.Close();
return path;
}
